CHUNKS -
Smoking Chunks are roughly the size of an apple. They are a preferred size for long duration smoking. Wood Chunks also mix well with charcoal.
CHIPS -
Chips are hand cut from larger pieces. They range in size from a stick of gum, to a small candy bar. These are good if you are grilling directly over the coals, or if you just want to impart an essence of the wood smoke.
SPLITS -
Splits are small logs cut in half. Our splits range in size/length from roughly the size of a banana to a large russet potato. They are all over 5 inches in length, with some being a bit longer. These pieces are good for long duration smoking.
Fill your chimney starter with wood chunks and light them as you would charcoal. When the embers glow orange, pour them over the bottom of the grill. Insert the grate and you’re direct grilling over wood.
Note: wood burns more quickly than charcoal, so you may want to light a second chimney of wood chunks. When direct grilling over wood, always leave your grill open (uncovered)—otherwise, your food will become too saturated with smoke.
